EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image, painted by Pauline Baynes for the Christmas number cover of The Sphere magazine in 1954, transports us back to an early Victorian Christmas party. The festive scene is filled with the joy and wonder of the season, as children and adults alike gather to celebrate. Baynes' brushstrokes capture the essence of the 19th century, with its ornate decorations, elegant attire, and the warm glow of holiday cheer. The cover design, titled "Uninvited Spectators at the Christmas Revel," invites us to peer into the merriment from the sidelines, as if we've been granted a sneak peek into a cherished family memory. The partygoers, dressed in their finest holiday finery, seem oblivious to the onlookers, lost in their own world of laughter, music, and merriment. Pauline Baynes, best known for her illustrations of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, brings her magical touch to this festive scene. Her attention to detail and ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder make this cover a true holiday classic. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of Christmas, reminding us of the joy and connection that comes from gathering with loved ones during the holiday season.
